Sea kayaking to Penguin Island


Have a look at my Christmas present :) We went for half a day sea kayaking trip to Penguin Island, a small island just of the coast of Rockingham, which is probably around an hour drive south of Perth. Funny thing is we had no tourists on our tour, everyone was from Perth. It was still easy to feel like on holidays tho, especially in this awesome weather.

7. They were molting at the time which meant waiting in almost 40 degrees for couple of weeks for their feathers to become water resistant. Not fun at all.

8. That's why they were hiding in caves like that one
